Show Notes

No matter who you are, you can become active in helping get legislation passed. My personal experience has centered on legislation to advance disaster resilience. 

The guest for this podcast is Jim Kastama. Jim has many years of experience as a Washington State legislator, first in the House and then in the Senate to include being a Committee Chairman.

Today he serves as a City Councilmember for the City of Puyallup, Washington. We discuss how to approach a legislator with draft legislation and what works or doesn’t work to get a bill actually passed during legislative sessions.
